HAM AND CHICKEN ROLL-UPS
Serves 4
If you can’t easily find the prosciutto called for in this recipe, substitute any thinly sliced ham, such as the pre-sliced ham you find in the deli section of your supermarket. Or try thin slices of smoked turkey ham.
If you slice the cooked Roll-Ups crosswise, they make wonderful hors d’oeuvres or appetizers.
4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves or 1 thin sliced boneless roaster breast
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon dried rosemary, crumbled
Salt and ground pepper to taste
4 thin slices prosciutto
Place chicken breast halves between 2 sheets of plastic wrap and pound to 1/2-inch thickness. Skip the previous step if you are using thin sliced boneless roaster breasts. Brush breasts with olive oil to help seal in moisture; sprinkle with rosemary, salt and pepper. Roll up each breast half, starting from narrow end. Wrap a slice of prosciutto around each roll.
In 8-inch square microwave-safe baking dish, place chicken rolls seam side down. Cover with wax paper. Microwave at HIGH (100% power) 8 minutes, rotating dish 2 or 3 times during cooking. Let stand 5 minutes. Check for doneness after standing; juices should be clear with no hint of pink when chicken is cut near center.
